Excerpt from Cheniere Caminada: Or the Wind of Death A sturdy, happy people they were, strong in their affections. Proud in their self-reliance, open-hearted in their hospitality, ready to share, with the needy, their substance, and asking naught save a just return for their hard and often dangerous labor.

As the population increased it naturally grouped itself into communities, and Grand Isle, Cheniere Caminada, Grand Terre, and the many other fishing settlements in what was collectively known as the Barataria Country, were the result.
